Answer 3

There were 12 episodes. There should have been 13, but the last episode never got made.

Answer 4

There are so few episodes because John Cleese and Connie Booth knew when to stop before they over did a classic and tarnished it's reputation. And also because they got divorced during the second series and although still professional enough to get through it probably knew when to call working together a day too.
